His new Diaghilev is the most complete and vivid life of an impresario who was also a great animator, organiser and human being. Buckle's book gives a brilliant panorama of the first grand encounter between Russian art, dance and music and the Western World. It is historical writing of the first order. ~LINCOLN KIRSTEIN. This is the first full~length life of Diaghilev to appear for nearly forty years. Much new material about the great Russian creator of modern ballet, who was also the unquestioned arbiter of European taste in the first quarter of this century, has come to light since the publication of Haskell's and Lifar's biographies. Even before his historic Diaghilev Exhibition of 1954 Richard Buckle had begun his research into the Diaghilev period and gleaned information from the impresario's friends. A study of Diaghilev's ancestry throws new light on his character. Boris Kochno has placed at the author's disposal the hitherto unpublished fragmentary memoirs which Diaghilev wrote m 1928, the year before his death, and has supplied endless details about his work and life. Richard Buckle has acquired an insight into the mind of Diaghilev, which enables him to write with authority on his hopes and fears, his triumphs and disasters during the quarter~century which may well go down in history as "the Diaghilev era" in art. The full story is told of Diaghilev's magazine The World of Art, of the remarkable exhibitions he organized in Russia and Paris between 1899 and 1906 of his concerts of Russian music and his production of Boris Godunov in Paris in 1907 and 1908. The evolution of the new Russian Ballet and its crises drring the early period of Fokine and Nijinsky are minutely recorded, and the wartime years with Massine in Italy, Switzerland, the United States and Spain are described in detail for the first time. Abundant information about the last decade of Diaghilev's life has been revealed by documents in two extensive New York collections and in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; and, through letters, telegrams and hotel bills, Richard Buckle charts his activities and decisions in the 1920s, often day by day. Here are the great names of the world of art in which Diaghilev was such a force: the painters Picasso, Braque, Miro, Derain, Matisse; the composers Stravinsky, Rimsky~Korsakov, Debussy, Ravel, Falla, Strauss, Prokofiev, Poulenc; the choreographers and dancers Fokine, Nijinsky, Massine, Balanchine, Dolin, Lifar, Pavlov a, Karsavina, Lopukhova, Danilova; the designers Bakst, Benois, Gontcharova, Larionov, Tchelitchev, Chirico. And all portrayed in masterly fashion against the beautifully evoked Europe of the capitals of the early twentieth century: St. Petersburg, Paris, London, Rome, Madrid. For American readers the story of the visit to the United States of the Diaghilev Ballet and its cross~country jaunt is a treasure in itself. The drawings on the front and back of the jacket are by Jean Cocteau, and were given by him respectively to Igor Markevitch and Richard Buckle. N° de réf. du vendeur 3201405
